I do stand corrected! Infamous is certainly not the correct word, but I can't edit it now! Legendary, Iconic - of course. I suppose if you were a Leafs fan in the 70s then infamous would be right.

When the conference ended there was an opportunity to meet the infamous Ken Dryden, I waited in line among the photo and auto seekers. I met him, shook his hand, and he signed my mask! Was an awesome experience to meet a boyhood idol.

I was a season ticket holder for the Atlanta Thrashers for a few years in the 2000s and they would often have autograph events but the 05-06 season was special since they assembled most of the team prior to the season opener and allowed ticket holders to obtain autographs. I was lucky enough to get 25 autographs on a single jersey, even managed to get the coach Bob Hartley along with many players including Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovalchuk, and a host of others. I also made a map showing the locations of the autos:

Cool! You've got some great autographs on that jersey.

The map is almost as awesome as the jersey, by the way. Good effort there!

Here's a recent TTM success by me, and my entry into the contest:

Bob Nicholson. CEO of the Oilers Entertainment Group. The man who hired Peter Chiarelli and was cool enough to keep Kevin Lowe & Craig MacTavish around. Even rehired Scott Howson recently!

Oh yeah, and that golden envelope thingy he's holding in the picture: That's from a lottery win! Did you hear? Oilers won the lottery, and they get have Connor McDavid!

Nice to see you still have the puck @scottkoz20 !

Here's my entry, Back in 2009, I still lived in England but I came over for a holiday over the Christmas break and I attended a Québec Remparts game. At the end of the game I waited for hours until my favorite player ever, Patrick Roy, came out of the restricted area of the old Quebec Colisée. Once he did, I pounded on him! He signed both my Habs and Avs Roy jerseys and even posed for a photo:

And here it is today in my living room framed :)

Well, Photobucket is useless, and I haven't been able to figure out Flickr yet, but this should get you there: https://www.flickr.com/photos/152665171@N04/

My wife's favorite player is Olie Kolzig, and because I am married to her, so am I (you know how that goes). We have quite the Kolzig collection: three GU jerseys (on the dining room wall!), GU stick, GU glove & blocker, and even a GU water bottle (don't ask), as well as about 1300 different cards and innumerable autographed pictures, pucks, etc. The only thing we really don't have is a GU mask. We have only ever seen two go up for sale/auction, and they both went for over $30,000!

So I was sitting around thinking of what I could get my wife for Christmas one day (in July), when I had one of my few bright ideas. I got online and started doing a little research, and I was able to find out who made Kolzig's masks for him when he played. I contacted the guy up in Boston and asked if he could make me a Kolzig mask, exactly to the specifications Kolzig had for a gamer. The guy agreed, and a couple months and a couple thousand dollars later, FedEx showed up at our door with our new helmet. So we took the helmet to a Caps practice one day we knew Kolzig would be there, and my wife got him to sign it -- after he asked where we got it. She also persuaded him to put it on. So while it is not game-worn, it is "player-worn." Needless to say, that Christmas was very special for Yours Truly!
